Buying A New Set of Irons versus Custom Fitting

Fellow Bros, I currently have a TM Burner 2.0 for the last 2 years since I started learning golf. What are the advantages of custom fitting irons? What is the price range for custom fitting? Or should I just come out 1k to buy the latest golf iron set?

Personally, and I know some will beg to differ, if one is just playing once or at most twice a month, I don't really see the need to get custom set... Agreed that that off-the-shelf eqpt will not maximize your swing, but clubs nowadays have so much technology and forgiveness. Unless you potentially have quite lofty aspirations or dead serious about including golf as an important part of your life, I still feel that the above-mentioned category of player can just manage with off-the-shelf clubs. I know two friends who can play in the high 70s and still uses 5-6 years old non-customized clubs. Perhaps I see golf as a passionate hobby but not a obsessive/professional passion yet..Of course, if you have nothing hold you back to get customized, by all means just do it...

Check out Wizgolf at Bukit Batok range and see if they have a set within your budget, and suits your swing.I personally benefited from custom fitting as off-the-rack shafts are a bit short and heavy for me.

I believe you can buy irons off the rack custom fitted by each brand nowadays. Depends which shop you go to.

Personally i believe that to make our game enjoyable, we should get fitted. Its not the person adjusting to the equipment but the equipment adjusted to fit the user. Go talk to a few fitters before you commit.

Just my thoughts.

I have been playing with my current set for about 7 years now. Recently, tried out some miuras irons and the feel is just..... awesome. So backside itchy, went to customise a set and loving every bit of it. I personally feel that is money well spent. As my coach use to say, skills 90% clubs 10%. Customised clubs do make a difference but only that much difference.

Personnal experience is by going for custom fitting, I don't need to change my swing although that would be very minor. My posture is a bit upright and hence, I need a different lie angle and shaft length from a standard set. Furthermore, I prefer a thicker grip.

Well, if you can buy a new set of irons with custom fitting thrown in, why not. I went for titleist fitting, they didn't charge me anything. They will give you a detailed fitting specs after your fitting and you can take this specs to any authorized dealer and your iron cost the same as the one off the shelf.
